Don’t forget what I have taught
Keep my commands in your heart
For they will add much to your life
And peace God will impart
Hold fast to love and faithfulness
Inscribe them on your heart
Then you will be esteemed by God;
Trust Him with all your heart
On your own understanding, do not rely
Submit to God; He will correctly guide
Honour the Lord with all that you possess
With abundance and joy, He will surely bless
Do not spurn God’s loving discipline
For He rebukes those He delights in
Rich is the one, who amasses wisdom;
Pleasant is her peaceful kingdom
She is a tree of life to those who gain her
How wise must be the Lord Creator,
Who placed the silver stars in view
And divided waters: oceans and drops of dew
Preserve sound judgment and discretion
Do not let wisdom and understanding flee
For they will be like a talisman
You will walk secure and steadily
When you lie down, you will not fear
Your sleep will be free from cares
For the Lord will be protecting you
From unexpected snares
Do not withhold good where it’s due
When you have the ability
Do not delay your giving
When you see someone in need
Do not plot against your neighbour
Or accuse people without cause
Do not envy the violent
Or choose their path, full of flaws
The Lord hates perversity
But He counsels the upright
God’s curse is on the wicked
But He blesses the upright
God mocks the proud and shows favour
To the humble and oppressed
While fools inherit only shame
The wise are honoured are blessed
